Maryland.
In 1649 passed an act of toleration with all the Catholic church and protestant churches, but this also gave death penalty to every person that did not believe in Jesus. At that time Maryland was a very important colony and was one of the first places to have religion tolerance, setting an example for the years to come.
The congressional districts were redrawn to establish safe seats for the political parties. Before the Reapportionment Act of 1929, the Republicans tried to take over the presidency and both houses of Congress, so that rule would be solely through the Republicans and that no Democrat would have any say over how to govern America. Obviously, this was a very dangerous move and therefore the Reapportionment Act of 1929 had to be passed so that the state legislature would draw the district lines.
Answer:
d. his negotiations were always backed by the threat of military force.
Explanation:
What was the Big Stick Policy? It is the name often referred to as US foreign policy under Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909). Roosevelt acted to maintain a friendly and cordial air in the negotiations, while at the same time making clear the possibility of using force to overwhelm his opponents and achieve his intent. The president would also create the Roosevelt Corollary, in which he supported the Monroe Doctrine (marked by the phrase “America for Americans”) and sought to extend it from a viewpoint that favored the United States. To this end, it has transformed the Americas into an exclusively American sphere of influence, especially the Central American area.

A "No NATO" protester in Chicago, 2012Nonviolent resistance (NVR or nonviolent action) is the practice of achieving goals such as social change through symbolic protests, civil disobedience, economic or political noncooperation, satyagraha, or other methods, while being nonviolent. This type of action highlights the desires of an individual or group that feels that something needs to change to improve the current condition of the resisting person or group. It is largely but wrongly taken as synonymous with civil resistance. Each of these terms—nonviolent resistance and civil resistance—has its distinct merits and also quite different connotations and commitments.
Major nonviolent resistance advocates include Mahatma Gandhi, Henry David Thoreau, Te Whiti o Rongomai, Tohu Kākahi, Leo Tolstoy, Alice Paul, Martin Luther King, Jr, James Bevel, Václav Havel, Andrei Sakharov, Lech Wałęsa, Gene Sharp, and many others. There are hundreds of books and papers on the subject—see Further reading below.
From 1966 to 1999, nonviolent civic resistance played a critical role in fifty of sixty-seven transitions from authoritarianism.[1] Recently, nonviolent resistance has led to the Rose Revolution in Georgia and the Orange Revolution in Ukraine. Current nonviolent resistance includes the Jeans Revolution in Belarus, the "Jasmine" Revolution in Tunisia, and the fight of the Cuban dissidents. Many movements which promote philosophies of nonviolence or pacifism have pragmatically adopted the methods of nonviolent action as an effective way to achieve social or political goals. They employ nonviolent resistance tactics such as: information warfare, picketing, marches, vigils, leafletting, samizdat, magnitizdat, satyagraha, protest art, protest music and poetry, community education and consciousness raising, lobbying, tax resistance, civil disobedience, boycotts or sanctions, legal/diplomatic wrestling, underground railroads, principled refusal of awards/honors, and general strikes. Nonviolent action differs from pacifism by potentially being proactive and interventionist.
A great deal of work has addressed the factors that lead to violent mobilization, but less attention has been paid to understanding why disputes become violent or nonviolent, comparing these two as strategic choices relative to conventional politics.[2]
